Living Hormoniously With Lissie Turner Lissie Turner & Tahlia Mynott

Have you, or a woman close to you, ever experienced a great tragedy? How does grief impact the hormonal cycle and how do hormones affect grief? In this episode Lissie chats with flower grower and merchant, Hannah Robertson. A woman who has lived a life of incredible adventure, stepped with ease into bold situations of survivalism, embraced her body's capacity to bring 6 babies into this world, grows and sells the most glorious flowers and has endured the deepest grief that exists in the human experience.

This is an episode we've been waiting to bring you for many months. It's the undiscussed relationship between a woman's cycle and her experience in her grief, it's the heightening intensity of every ebb and flow, and being forced to wield the knowledge of hormones so as not to sink to utterly overwhelming depths. It's the power of a woman to also harness her body's intelligence to keep her feet - and in this case her hands - firmly planted in the earth.

This is a story of love, of poetry, of beauty growing from the mess and the muck; a reminder of the importance for all of us at it's most extreme end, that relationship with our own body can be the difference on any day between coping and madness. This is a story of crocodiles and flowers, of love and of living. It is a season's end, not to be missed.

Do you see your cycle as something that gets in the way of your progression as a woman in business? Have you ever thought how you can actually utilise the various different, powerful qualities of your cycle to enhance and grow your business? 

More than likely in your workplace at one time or another, you've dragged yourself into work and through your day, despite the weariness, pain or discomfort of your bleed, the feelings of fragility before your menstruation or the fogginess that can come with the natural depletion of hormones. But imagine if you could respect those different times and that was respected in your workplace. Imagine if the times in your cycle when your energy was high and your mental clarity through the roof, was called upon and honoured to the benefit of the business. Imagine no longer wasting energy trying to wrangle the different atmospheres of your cycle in misdirection and instead riding them in the direction of cohesive success.

In this episode Tahlia Mynott and Lissie Turner talk through how to leverage off the phases within the monthly cycle for better business practices, helping to grow our businesses and our power as successful business women: no longer finding that success due to suppression of the cycle but because of it! It's time to change the narrative.

At 37 years of age, with a two year old babe in arms, Leah Burgess was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since her teens, her hormonal relationship had been filled with pain and disharmony, then after finding a beautiful man, producing a beautiful baby and getting into a beautiful groove, she was asked by her body to begin the fight of her life.

With a wicked sense of humour and one-two-fuck-you-cancer attitude that fits right in at Living Hormoniously HQ, this brilliant woman shares deep insider experience of living within a hormonal system in turmoil and finding the potency and positivity within to steer back to equilibrium. Welcome to the rich, gleeful, terrifying, incredible tale of the spectacular Leah Burgess.

Carrying the DNA of Mungo Man and Woman - the oldest known human bones ever discovered - Kaz Ross has the 'knowing' of human connection and consciousness running through her blood. Currently living on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, Kaz Ross remembers a childhood filled with lessons of culture, river stories, the removal and displacement of children, of cultures converging and the unique experience of growing up in a children's home WITHOUT being a ward of the state.

Finding her hormonal wisdom along the way has been a process of feeling, listening and observing, of growing the strength of her steady fire within to share the stories that need to be heard by those that need to hear them.

It is an honour and privilege to sit in conversation with Kaz Ross, Mutti Mutti woman, a bridge between two worlds, the flow of many rivers.

We are deeply honoured, with the widest of smiles on our faces, to present this profound episode to you - we invite and we encourage you to share this with every woman suffering under the old narratives, caught in a life that's conditioned not created, every woman who dreams of being at her fullest potential, of breaking convention, of spending the rest of her life liberated from the chains of the past. For every woman who needs reminding that her place at the pinnacle of her life, is as Elder - seen, heard, respected. 

What's your narrative?

Have you ever wondered exactly what's going on inside a woman's body - perhaps your own body - hormonally, once a baby is born? Expressions like post baby blues have been bantered about for decades but with little education around exactly why some women feel a little low a few days after such a wonderful event as birth.

In this episode, Tahlia and Lissie share invaluable information around the postpartum hormonal plummet, explaining exactly why the tears may flow around three to four days postpartum and why, it's completely, absolutely normal. Hear how you can ride this dramatic shift or help a loved one during this time, starting with awareness of what's going on in the body and the understanding that it's only temporary.

Education around nutrition, breathwork and body movements, to help find comfort in the body and peace within the mind.
